Motorcycles in Paraguay.

Hi Bill,
In order to sell your bikes legally you'll have to officially import them through Aduanas (Customs). You can do this through a broker or go yourself. For cars I believe they charge 30% of the value and they require the original bill of sale and some other information as well. I don't know if a 750-800 cc bike would sell at a premium here because there aren't many of them, or at a discount because there isn't much smooth open road in paraguay - things are pretty close together and the roads aren't that smooth. How much are you looking to sell them for? The market here is flooded with cheap motorcycles assembled locally with Chinese parts.  Most are 100cc to 250cc. You could choose to sell your bike to someone without going through official channels. Less profits, but less hassle as well since you're putting the burden of paperwork on them.

Britt Again,

I wondered if you had come with a price for your bikes.  My brother in law lives in Asuncion and works for the department that controls the boarder crossings and he deals in illigal motorcycles on the side.  You have probably heard that kind of corruption is business as useual in Paraguay. He might be able to hook you up with a buyer in Asuncion.  I might be interested in the Honda.  I have a 125cc Chineese bike that is on its last legs.  In the states I have ridden a 500cc for years and am used to a bigger bike.  I think I could get parts for a Honda down there to keep it running.  brittnewell@gmail.com

Thanks for the note.  $2,000 is out of my price range.  But If you wind up in Asuncion I will connect you with my brother in law that might be able to help  Britt

Thanks for the info. If nothing else it will give me a better idea of what my bikes are worth in Paraguay. I will definitely be travelling there soon, so I guess I´ll find out soon enough. Does anyone know how much the cost is to legally import USA motos into Paraguay?
